Realtek ALC268 HDA sound  and mixer only have output/playback and no =20
way to input to a Mic, etc.

It is on an acer aspire 5520-5679 AMD 64x2 that I'm running up to date =20
current8 AMD64 on.

pciconf -lv shows:

pcm0@pci0:0:7:0:        class=3D0x040300 card=3D0x01261025 chip=3D0x055c10de

       vendor     =3D 'Nvidia Corp'
       class      =3D multimedia

# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2007061600/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <NVidia MCP67 High Definition Audio Controller> at memory =20
0xf2680000 irq 21 kld snd_hda [20080420_0052] [MPSAFE] (1p:2v/1r:1v =20
channels duplex default)

and the verbose dmesg can be seen at http://encontacto.net/SHARE/dmesg.txt

I need to use it for skype and it isn't possible.  Any suggestions =20
appreciated.

I have also tried OSS without any success at all.

With OSS and skype-devel I get "problem with audio playback" in =20
addition to the microphone not working. With Youtube.com oss just =20
locks up firefox on playback.

ossinfo doesn't show the microphone, either.
